Shui Qingqing, who saw Li You's mind thoroughly, didn't want herself and Yun'er to become his pawns to hurt Mei Zijin again, so she categorically rejected Li You's 'kindness', was unwilling to leave her husband, and expressed her willingness to go back to the Western Desert with the Wang family.

Hearing her words, not only did Li You be shocked, but Old Madam Hou and Princess Leyi both looked at her in disbelief, and even Xiaoxi was surprised.

It stands to reason that with Shui Qingqing's current identity, she can completely abandon Wang Dingbao and break off relations with the Wang family. Therefore, everyone didn't understand why she didn't do this, but refused the prince's kindness and refused to leave her husband!

However, who understands the bitterness in Shui Qingqing's heart?

She didn't really want to go back to the Western Desert with the Wang family, it had been the beginning of her nightmare, she would even be terrified when she heard the Gui family's voice, how could she be willing to go back with them?

However, if she doesn't leave the capital, how can she make Mei Zijin die for her?

In the final analysis, she did all this for Mei Zijin, not only because she didn't want herself and Yun'er to become Li You's pawns against Mei Zijin, but also because she wanted Mei Zijin to die for her.

She knows Mei Zijin's deep affection for her, if she divorces Wang Dingbao and stays in the capital, Mei Zijin will definitely not bear to let her live alone, and will definitely want her to return to his side.

However, today she has caused him to lose face in front of the people in the capital, and it makes him sad and desperate, if he is with her again, whether she divorces Wang Dingbao or not, it will make the world criticize him for marrying a fool's daughter-in-law, making him discredited and ridiculed by the world.

And the slap that Mrs. Hou slapped him today, although it hit him in the face, it hurt her heart heavily.

She knew that no matter how tolerant Mrs. Hou was to her before, after this incident with the Wang family, Mrs. Hou would never allow her to enter the door of the Hou Mansion again. Therefore, she doesn't want to see their mother and son quarrel and hurt because of her in the future.

What's more, she has signed a letter of resignation with her own hands, saying that she has no chance with him in this life, so why should she stay in this sad place in the capital anymore, making Mei Zijin embarrassed and painful.

And she also knew that if she divorced Wang Dingbao and left the capital, no matter where she went, Mei Zijin would look for her. In order to make him completely dead to herself, she had to continue to be Wang Dingbao's 'wife' and return to the Western Desert with him......

Gui and Wang Biao, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but secretly rejoice when they heard Shui Qingqing's words-

Although they did not expect that Shui Qingqing, who had become the county lord, would return to Wangjiazhuang with them, if she was willing to go back with them, they couldn't ask for it.

Because, if the people in the town know that their daughter-in-law is the noble county lord, how bright will their faces be.

Thinking of this, Gui said with a flattering face: "As long as the county lord is willing, we will definitely serve the county lord well, not only don't want the county lord to work, but also ask the maid to serve the county lord carefully, so that the county lord can eat and drink spicy ......."

Hearing Gui's sharp voice, Shui Qingqing felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't say anything on her face, just nodded lightly.

And Li You, who came back to his senses, heard Shui Qingqing's refusal, his handsome face flashed with annoyance, but he understood in his heart that Shui Qingqing had seen through his thoughts.

There was a cold glint in her eyes, Li You didn't expect that until now, she was still desperately defending Mei Zijin, and couldn't help but think of Shui Qingqing again for Mei Zijin, who deceived him several times. Kankan felt guilty because he was afraid of Emperor Jin Ming's blame and the promise he made to Princess Wuning, but his heart hardened again.

He even thought that Princess Wu Ning was also deceiving him at the beginning, knowing that her daughter had been married and had children, and let herself marry her, how could it not be a deception and insult to him.

Thinking of this, Li You's aura became gloomy, and his eyes couldn't help but pass over Shui Qingqing, and fell on Yun'er, who was being held by Mother Ye on the side, and lowered his voice and said coldly to her: "Do you think you can save him by leaving the capital and hiding in the Western Desert?"

Li You's pun made Shui Qingqing's heart tighten, and she was also sensitive to the gloom in his expression, and her heart was like falling into a cold pool, cold to the bone!

Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for the prince's care." But I have no face to stay in the capital any longer, so I might as well go back to the Western Desert - beg the prince to give me a way to live! ”

Li You didn't really want to keep her in the capital, but she was just doing something like this, so that she could defend herself in front of Emperor Jin Ming in the future.

Moreover, the next thing is the real show.

Therefore, Li no longer stopped it, but let out a long sigh, so he said sadly: "Since you insist on doing this, this palace will not stop you again." Take care - if you encounter difficulties in the future, or if the royal family dares to bully you, you can write to this palace and this palace will definitely protect you. ”

The sudden change in Li You's attitude surprised Shui Qingqing, and she couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, with a look of doubt and vigilance.

With an indifferent smile, Li You ignored Shui Qingqing's wariness of her, turned around to say goodbye to Old Madam Hou, and left the Hou Mansion.

Princess Leyi also went to the back house to see Mei Zijin, and Lord Liu of Jing Zhaoyin, seeing that the matter had been dealt with, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he retreated in a huff.

Suddenly only the old lady and Shui Qingqing, as well as the Wang family, were left in the happy hall.

As soon as Li You left, Shui Qingqing's whole body suddenly relaxed, and the nerves that were about to break gradually relaxed, looking back at the Wang family who had been kneeling for a long time, and said coldly: "You go and wait for me outside the mansion."

Before in the Wang family, Shui Qingqing, as the new daughter-in-law, didn't dare to breathe in the Wang family, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, but she usually worked and did the same thing as a servant, and she was not idle, and her mother-in-law Gui bullied her and called her like a slave.

But today is different from the past, although Shui Qingqing is ashamed by everyone, she is still the county lord given by the emperor, so the Gui family and Wang Biao didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly took Wang Dingbao to retreat outside the mansion to wait for Shui Qingqing.

She smiled bitterly at Xiaoxi, who was full of grief, and said, "You go down and help me pack my luggage...... Just a few simple clothes. ”

Because she came to the Hou Mansion because of her marriage, Shui Qingqing's luggage and dowry were sent to the Hou Mansion with her marriage, and now that she is leaving, her luggage will naturally be taken away, and she will not stay in the Hou Mansion anymore.

Xiaoxi went down silently with tears, and only Mrs. Hou and Shui Qingqing were left in the happy hall, as well as Mother Ye who was holding Yun'er.

Old Madam Hou knew Shui Qingqing's purpose of avoiding the Wang family, which was also the reason why she stayed and did not leave immediately, because there was still an important matter to be executed between the Hou Mansion and Shui Qingqing.

As soon as everyone left, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but step forward and hugged Yun'er from Mother Ye's hand, and knelt in front of Mrs. Hou.

Since these things happened in Xitang, Shui Qingqing has long been physically and mentally exhausted, and life is worse than death, and she can't help but want to die on the spot several times.

However, whenever she doesn't have the courage to live, she can see Yun'er when she raises her eyes.

He kept looking at her, his big eyes full of innocence and ignorance. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about her. It seems to be aware that the atmosphere is wrong, and he sits in Ye's mother's arms very well-behaved.

As soon as she saw Yun'er, her heart ached, and she no longer dared to think about relieving her sorrows by dying.

If she dies, what will Yun'er do? A child without a father and a mother, but he is the most pitiful in the world......

So at this moment, she hugged her son into her arms, and she had the courage to live again.

Holding Yun'er and snorting heavily at the old lady Hou, Shui Qingqing's eyes were full of tears, but the corners of her mouth raised a smile, and she said gratefully: "Thank you old lady for helping me take care of Yun'er these days, this kindness and virtue will be reported in the next life!"

When the Wang family appeared before, Mrs. Hou was indeed angry, but after calming down, the anger in Mrs. Hou's heart quietly extinguished.

Now seeing her kneeling in front of her with Yun'er in her arms, Mrs. Hou had mixed feelings in her heart, and she was even more sad, and sighed: "It's good for you to take the child back to the Western Desert, no matter how stupid he is, he is also the father of the child, and it is always good for the family to be together...... Your in-laws must be happy when they see Yun'er, not to mention...... He's so clever and cute! ”

Speaking of Yun'er, the old lady's heart hurts as if a piece of meat has been stripped off, she has had feelings for him for more than half a year before, and the day and night of these days, the old lady likes this well-behaved and lovely child in her heart. Thinking that he would be far away in the Western Desert in the future and never see each other again in this life, the old lady couldn't help but cry sadly.

However, Mrs. Hou never dreamed that Yun'er would be the blood of his Mei family, her own grandson, and the blood and flesh of Mei Zijin......

As soon as the old lady cried, Shui Qingqing's tears couldn't help but flow even more.

She couldn't explain to the old lady that Yun'er was not Wang Dingbao's child.

How could Yun'er be a child of the Wang family.

From the night she married to the Wang family, she slept alone in the small backyard, and only saw Wang Dingbao a month later, only to be told by her mother-in-law Gui that her husband was a twenty-year-old child who was still ignorant and mute, so she asked her to borrow seeds from other men to have children......

The tragic past came to her mind again, Shui Qingqing wiped her tears, and said in a trembling voice: "It's me who is sorry for the Hou Mansion, and I'm sorry for the old lady and the Hou Ye, and I hope the old lady will forgive me......"

"Say goodbye here, maybe we won't see each other again in this life, I hope the old lady will cherish it a lot!"

After that, she hugged Yun'er and kowtowed to the old lady again to say goodbye, and got up to leave.

Watching her staggering away with the child in her arms, and the old lady stood up unfreely, and sent her to the door with Mother Ye.

In the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, the festive lanterns and red silk in the courtyard have not been removed, and the long firecrackers are hanging on the eaves waiting for people to light them......

Everything is showing the excitement and celebration of Fang Cai, and it is her happiest moment.

But in a blink of an eye, everything changed, even though she was still wearing a beautiful wedding dress, she had become an outcast from the whole world......

Standing in the courtyard, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but look back in the direction of Siyi Courtyard, and couldn't help but recall what Mei Zijin had said to her when she secretly went to Baifu before she got married.

He said that he left Shaohua Courtyard to live with her and Yun'er, and even opened up the courtyard wall of Shaohua Courtyard and Siyi Courtyard, and merged the two courtyards into one courtyard, so that their family lived together and would never be separated again, nor would they be disturbed......

When she was in the Hou Mansion before, she had heard that Shaohua Courtyard was the most exquisite and comfortable courtyard in the Hou Mansion except for the Shi'an Courtyard, and it was reserved for the future Mrs. Hou to live in. On the way to get married, she was still looking forward to the beautiful scenery in Shaohua Courtyard, and the beautiful scene of her and Mei Zijin living together with Yun'er in Shaohua Courtyard......

However, now she doesn't even have the opportunity to enter Shaohua Courtyard to have a look......

His heart was already numb with pain, and Shui Qingqing thought sadly, with Lu Lin here, his body would definitely be fine.

But at this moment, she hoped that he would faint for a few more moments, so that she could leave quietly without seeing him reluctantly......

Walking to the door, Yun'er, who was about to leave the gate of the Hou Mansion, was lying on Shui Qingqing's shoulder, but suddenly opened her mouth and shouted to the old lady Hou who was standing under the corridor and watched them leave: "Grandma...... Grandma ......"

A child who is more than a year old is the time to learn to speak.

During this time, Mother Ye and her sisters have been teaching Yun'er to call grandma.

But before, no matter how Mother Ye coaxed and taught, Yun'er would never call grandma except for calling her father. But when he didn't want to leave today, he suddenly opened his mouth and called grandma to the old lady under the corridor.

Yun'er's soft and glutinous 'grandma' almost killed the old lady.

The old lady's tears flowed down again, and she couldn't help but say in a trembling voice: "Wait a minute......

When Yun'er suddenly called her grandmother, Shui Qingqing stopped in surprise, and when she heard the old lady's words, she couldn't help but turn around with Yun'er in her arms and look at the old lady who was hurrying towards them.

With the support of Mother Ye, the old lady stumbled towards Shui Qingqing's mother and son, and when she got closer, the old lady touched Yun'er's little face with tears, and choked up: "My heart and liver, why are you so painful...... What are you going to do with grandma......

After that, the old lady looked at Shui Qingqing, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you leave the child behind...... Since the Hou Mansion has recognized him as a righteous son, he will definitely raise him well. It's better to let him follow us than to go back to the Western Desert with you...... The old body and Zijin will definitely treat him as if he had come out, and will never treat him badly......"

Shui Qingqing knew that the old lady had good intentions, and believed that she and Mei Zijin really loved Yun'er, but she would not leave Yun'er behind, because Yun'er was all she had, her courage to live, and her life was more precious to her flesh and blood.

Moreover, if Yun'er is left behind, how can Mei Zijin forget her?!

She pressed the pain in her heart and smiled bitterly: "I thank the old lady for her love on behalf of Yun'er." It's just that if you leave him, the wound in Hou Ye's heart will be difficult to heal, and I don't want to leave with him, I'm sorry......"

After listening to Shui Qingqing's words, the old lady came to her senses, if Yun'er was left, wouldn't she always remind Mei Zijin so that he couldn't forget her?

In this way, Mrs. Hou no longer insisted, but reluctantly took Yun'er's little hand, choked with tears: "In this case, you must take him well, and when he grows up and has the opportunity to return to Beijing, let him come back to see my grandmother...... I hope that by then, I will be alive and alive to see him again......"

After speaking, the old lady said again: "After you find the inn where you live, ask someone to come back and tell me, I will pack up his clothes and clothes, and let Mother Ye send them to you."

Shui Qingqing said: "Don't bother...... It's still early today, I won't stay in the capital anymore, go directly out of the city and go back to the West Desert, I will buy him the things he wants to use on the way, thank you old lady......"

The old lady understood what she meant, she was afraid that Mei Zijin would wake up and find her and wouldn't let her go, so she left the capital in a hurry, her heart was sour, and she was also grateful for her dedication to Mei Zijin.

Shui Qingqing was in a hurry to leave Beijing, not only was she afraid that Mei Zijin would wake up and look for her, so she wouldn't let her go. I'm also worried about other accidents.

In the dark, she always felt that Li You's sudden change of attitude was too suspicious, and she intuitively felt that he would not let her and Yun'er go so easily, so she would leave the capital in a hurry......

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Shui Qingqing took Xiaoxi to find the Wang family waiting there outside the gate of the mansion.

The Gui family and Wang Biao were not surprised when they saw Shui Qingqing coming out with a child in her arms, because they had already learned about Shui Qingqing's birth from the Yang family.

Gui's eyes flashed with disgust, but with a saliva smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to Yun'er and said, "Yo, what a beautiful pink doll, let my mother-in-law hug it, now our Wang family has a queen......

Opening Gui's hand heavily, Shui Qingqing looked at her with cold eyes, and said coldly: "This is my child, it has nothing to do with your Wang family, don't want to touch him!"

The Gui family was frightened by Shui Qingqing's fierce momentum, and she didn't really want this wild seed whose biological father was unknown, so she didn't say anything anymore.

Wang Biao rented two carriages on the side of the road, the three of them sat in one, and Shui Qingqing and Xiaoxi took Yun'er to take one in one.

Shui Qingqing asked the carriage to go directly to the post station, and went there to find a long-distance business carriage and leave the city immediately.

Hearing Shui Qingqing say that he wanted to leave Beijing immediately, Wang Biao and the Gui family's faces changed in unison - the Yang family promised them 100,000 taels of silver, they only took half of the amount, and the other 50,000 taels said that they would give it after the good deeds were completed, so how could the Gui family who still had 50,000 taels of silver be willing to leave? !

At that time, they had already gotten off the carriage and came to the door of the post station, seeing that Shui Qingqing insisted on setting off immediately, Gui and Wang Biao disobeyed her again, Wang Biao was so anxious that his face turned red, but Gui's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward to Shui Qingqing and said: "County Lord, look at this hour, it's time for dinner, or let's go to the restaurant first to fill our stomachs and then leave......"

From the beginning, Shui Qingqing obviously noticed the difference between the Gui family and Wang Biao, especially when the Gui family opened the purse just now to pay for the carriage rental, Shui Qingqing's sharp eyes saw the silver ticket rolled in her purse, and suddenly thought of something in her heart, and couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows and look at her coldly, and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Gui scolded fiercely in his heart, but his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and he stammered: "From the capital back to the Western Desert, the road is far away, along the way, food and clothing, and a doll, many things to buy, why don't we stay for one night, buy things well, and leave early tomorrow morning?!"

Shui Qingqing's heart was cold, knowing that the Gui family must have benefited from Empress Chen and the Yang family, she couldn't help but say coldly: "Is there something to buy, or do you have something left in the hands of others and didn't take it clean—I don't want to think about it, who are you provoking, ask yourself if you have a life to enjoy it!"

After that, she stopped rambling with the Gui family, took Xiaoxi into the carriage, and headed for the city gate.

Gui and Wang Biao saw that she said to go, but they really had nothing to do with her, but they couldn't give up the 50,000 taels of silver in their hands, so they were in a hurry and asked Wang Biao to stay and get the rest of the silver tickets.

In the carriage, Shui Qingqing changed out of the exquisite wedding dress on her body, and put it into her package together with the tassel given to her by her mother around her neck.

Xiaoxi had been crying silently with sadness, Shui Qingqing took her hand and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, wait until you send me to the city gate, you can get out of the car and leave, go back to the Hou Mansion, or go to find your family...... You don't have to go back to the Western Desert with me......"

Hearing her words, Xiaoxi was stunned, couldn't believe that she looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "Miss, are you trying to drive me away?" I won't go back to the Hou Mansion, I don't have a family, I'll just follow Miss, don't drive me away......"

Shui Qingqing was also sad in her heart, but the life in Ximo was too hard, she couldn't bear Xiaoxi to follow her to endure hardships, so she had to continue to persuade: "My identity is different from the past, and I will never come back when I go to Ximo, you are from the capital, don't leave your hometown for me, and ruin your life." Stay and find a good man who loves you, marriage and children are the ......"

Xiaoxi shook her head again and again and said, "Miss with a child, it is even harder to be alone...... I decided, no matter where the young lady goes, I will just follow, I will not leave. ”

Seeing Xiaoxi's description, Shui Qingqing's heart swelled with warmth, tears fell again, hugged Xiaoxi and Yun'er into her arms together, and choked up: "Okay, when I return to the Western Desert, I will leave my husband, cut off the relationship with the Wang family, and then take you and Yun'er, and the three of us will depend on each other together......

Hearing that Shui Qingqing was willing to leave her husband, Xiaoxi's heart was overjoyed, her eyes lit up, she wiped her tears and smiled: "Okay, a word is a certainty." I listen to Miss. ”

While the master and servant were talking, the carriage had reached the gate of the city, but the carriage stopped.

The coachman said outside: "I can't go, the city gate is closed!"

Shocked when she heard this, Shui Qingqing hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, and sure enough, she saw that the city gate was closed, and the people who went out of the city were blocked at the door.

The bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger, and before Shui Qingqing asked Xiaoxi to ask what was wrong, a carriage came at a gallop and stopped in front of their carriage.

The curtain of the gold was opened, revealing Li You's handsome face like a crown of jade.

But in Shui Qingqing's opinion, this face disgusted her, and it made her even more frightened.

The whole body tightened again, Shui Qingqing's face was pale, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out, and she hugged Yun'er and trembled.

Without waiting for her to speak, Li You's eyes coldly crossed the face of Yun'er, who was already asleep in her arms, and hooked her lips and sneered: "Where is my cousin going with the righteous son of the Hou Mansion?"

Shui Qingqing gritted her teeth to suppress the fear in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "This child was originally taken in by Master Hou when I was in Tonggu Pass...... I'm afraid that Master Hou will be angry when he sees him, so I want to take him away with me...... Mrs. Hou also agreed......"

Li You smiled coldly: "Does my cousin really want to leave like this?" I still have a lot of doubts in my heart, waiting for my cousin to help me solve them. For example, who is this child of yours? Also, isn't Nameless dead or alive now, aren't you worried? ”

Suddenly hearing him mention Nameless, Shui Qingqing gasped, looked at Li You with a smug face in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you do with Nameless?"

Li You smiled happily: "Don't worry, this palace hasn't caught him for the time being, but it's going to be soon-this palace uses Aunt Jin as bait, plus you and this child, he will definitely appear!"

He stared straight at Shui Qingqing, who had already been distracted, especially after hearing the three words of Aunt Jin, and said with a smug smile: "Aunt Jin should know her, she is now confessing her crimes in Jing Zhaoyin's hall, is the county lord interested in listening to it together?"

After that, Shui Qingqing couldn't allow Shui Qingqing to refuse, and coldly ordered: "Come on, bring the county lord and the child back to Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"

On the other hand, Mei Zijin, who fainted due to an old illness caused by excessive grief, finally woke up under Lu Lin's treatment, and the first moment she opened her eyes, she asked where Shui Qingqing was?

After Mrs. Hou sent Shui Qingqing's mother and son away, she also came to Siyi Courtyard, put the letter of resignation signed by Shui Qingqing in front of him, and sighed: "Don't think about her anymore - she signed the letter of resignation with her own hands, and took Yun'er to leave Beijing with the Wang family and go to the Western Desert!"

Hearing this, Mei Zijin's chest ached violently again, and when he saw the tears on the paper of the resignation book, his heart was even more like a knife.

In the end, Mei Zijin's eyes fell on the three words 'Shui Qingqing' signed at the end, his eyes suddenly stared at the word 'Shui', and something suddenly remembered in his mind, and it exploded with a bang......
